It was the Ahrimanic spirits who taught people this idea that something terrible would happen on the physical plane, while in reality many things were happening in the spiritual world. At every millennium, the Luciferic and Ahrimanic spirits have a special power. Humanity need not be particularly proud of the decimal system, which is predominant today. Every number system is brought into the world by certain spirits, and each has a tendency to reveal certain facts and connections between facts more clearly and to obscure others, to make them recede into the background.[^1]","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":130,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/286/1914-03-07/p003","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"And The Temple Becomes Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA286/English/SOL2024/19140307p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Thus we see how the pyramids were built in 3000 BC. The year 2000 was the age of Abraham and all that arose from it; at the same time, it was the height of Babylonian culture. The year 1000 BC was the age of David. Preparations were made for the construction of Solomon's Temple. In the year zero, Christ appeared. We have often discussed how, according to the Gospels, and especially according to the Fifth Gospel, Christ had to take up the fight with Lucifer and Ahriman. In post-Christian times, however, the good, progressive spirits could no longer intervene in this way, and humanity was left to the attacks of Lucifer and Ahriman. In any case, they succeeded in confusing people's thinking, allowing them to accept the error of the approaching physical end of the world. They always have an interest in things being imagined in terms of space and time.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":192,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/286/1914-03-07/p005","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"And The Temple Becomes Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA286/English/SOL2024/19140307p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
